    As much as I hate school, I would break down in tears if I saw my school abandoned, ruined and empty. All my memories. All the flashbacks. All the images of me and my friends. I now understand what people mean by “I miss school, I wish I was your age to go to school”

      Me too, although I'd have to wait an incredibly long time, because the school I went to from PrK3 to Grade 12 was brand new when I started and had always been getting new upgrades up until graduation. So it's still incredibly modern, and I can't see it being abandoned for several decades.

    It's a Great thing you took your yearbook with you, because the next time you come to revisit the school, there is no telling how the school would look in the future! In the making of this video, at least the school looked great while it was abandoned, but sadly we all know what happens in America to abandoned buildings. I'm glad you were able to revisit your school, where I live, my elementary school is being expanded due to a growing population of students. Great Video!

      Mine 🙋‍♂️ too... Not exactly a school, but a university. Our classes were on the hilly part of the campus. During the duration of my studies, classes were gradually moved to newer buildings off the hills. Years later, the classrooms blocks in the hilly part was abandoned. Recently, those buildings are now demolished. Really sad to see that. All my memories, gone.
      Also, there's blocks of student dormitory which was already abandoned when I began studying there. Those blocks are haunted by a female ghost and djinns and are off limits to students. Now, these blocks are demolished too. University admin decided to return those demolished place back to nature (with some hiking trails for people exercising).

      If that wasn't bad enough, my best friend's mom moved in afterward with her boyfriend, so the first time my buddy and I went up to visit, I literally couldn't speak for like two hours and just kind of wandered around in a trance until the overwhelming nostalgic feelings wore off.

    I have fond memories of each of the schools I've been through, each for better or worse. Unfortunately, my old Elementary school was closed down (but luckily, not abandoned). I'd relish the opportunity to walk through and say hello to any of the teachers who've been there while I was growing up. Many of them don't use social media, but I hope they're all living wonderful lives, and if not, I hope those who are no longer here with us were able to live peacefully, knowing how many lives they've changed. Man, how simple, lucky, and wonderful of a childhood...

To go back and find either elementary school I went to or my middle or high schools closed down and completely abandoned, I think that would upset me more than anything else it would make me feel.

My school in Vancouver BC Canada where I live was built back in 1910 and in 1912 General Wolfe School had its first few students! And now it's booming with lots of students..I went to General Wolfe School in 1971 and graduated in 1979 our elementary school (as we Canada calls it was from kindergarten to grade 7.. and high school is from Grades 8 to 12) 🙂🙂
    And just a year or two ago my school had to shut down for a few months or year to upgrade for systemic upgrade (Earthquake upgrade and asbestos and led upgrade) for safety reasons 🙂🙂 even my brother went to the same school ..I went to High school and he was in my school (elementary school) so I understand how you feel about awesome memories even I had awesome memories too of my school and my favorite teacher etc 🙂🙂👍👍

    My junior high is still in use but, as a grade school. Even my old high school is still being used today. When I was a freshman in high school just before Christmas break a senior burned the oldest part of the school up. Almost the entire 2nd floor in the old part was gone. It was back in December 1984. When I was my high school the following day that I broke down in tears. Even us students were bused to another school a half hour away in a smaller high school. It was split that the juniors and seniors in the mornings. Freshmen and sophomores in late mornings to late afternoons. I remembered getting home at 6pm. I even had P.E. at my old school and even looked outside to see the fire damage. It took 2 and a half years to get back to the high school. It was still under construction during the school year. That was my senior year. I was even hanging out with my good friend that year after school. He was a junior that school year. We became close to each other as really good friends. He was very shy and quiet guy. I’m more outgoing person. We even went to prom together. I loved to go back and see my high school again since I was in it for 1 school.

      Someone said it was because the school was evacuated cause it was too poisonous for kids to stay at for hours which is probably why it looks like people just got out of their seats and never came back

    They most sad thing to me is the the building it self (at least the front/original part) is still very beautiful and grand. You gotta respect how nice and grand older school buildings are. I wish new school buildings still looked like this.

      Yes it does seem large for a middle school but imagine it if they would have kept it as a high school. It would have needed to be that big maybe possibly bigger

      Asbestos is only dangerous if it is in spores (airborne), lead has to be ingested (probably in the pipes), and mercury is usually airborne.
      I would like to hope they cleaned out the mercury, but it’s doubtful.

    I would love to explore my first Daycare Center. It's recently been abandoned, cause the city decided to combine the other existing daycare centers into bigger facilities. It's kinda sad, because those buildings had charm, character and full of warm memories. Personally I hate the modern style of architecture. My home town is filled with ugly cement monstrosities while the old historic buildings are either torn down or just left to rot.

    Dude.... this.. thank you for this. I left WMS at the end of 8th grade in 2001... moved to Narragansett... so I never got the chance to go and visit the teachers or anything and then all of the sudden it closed down. Your video has been the best real look into the building i have seen yet. Thank you for doing this.
    Oh and btw we totally had the same cluster for 8th grade... seeing those classrooms again hit me in the feels. Thank you.
